10 pts!! Is my personal statement good? (interesting I promise)?

I can’t add the whole thing here based to limit but here is my first two paragraphs. Please help me concise it, edit, grammar. revise. etc . Thank you SOOO much 10 pts!!
Observing my parent’s businesses throughout my life has sparked my interest in wanting to become a humanly resourceful person, who can improve the workplace both physically and psychologically. Being a keen observer of their daily stresses and discovering solutions for their businesses has made me learn a great deal about how people in the workplace function. One dimension of success lies within the worker’s quality of thinking. At a young age, my work ethic has shifted from an employee’s to a manager’s perspective. I have learned that a company will survive if employees have the mindset of prioritizing the organization’s goal while managers listen and offer feedback. There were employees in my parent’s first business who didn’t have integrity which caused my parent’s business to fail. Watching them suffer for a moment, made me think of how I could improve their situation. With some introspection, I quickly learned why I was internally motivated to succeed. I believe motivation comes from pain and pleasure. I was heartbroken from seeing my parents failed at their first business and has made me what to help them with all my will. My pleasure came from seeing them not giving up and having the will to become successful with the current business they have now. I believe people are motivated by different experiences and knew that each employee needed to find a reason to be motivated. Knowing this at an early age has made me become encouraged me to succeed in all aspects of my work, home duties, and even school. Now, I know to search for that intrinsic motivation in others, hoping to find that quality manifested in their personalities. My passion for the field of Industrial Organizational Psychology stems from my experience of seeing the grief that my parent’s endured when their business collasped, but they still managed to succeed in opening a new one. I have been inspired by them and want to help improve companies by finding the best fit of personnel because I strongly believe strategies of recruitment and retaining individuals, build a solid foundation for a company.

To prepare for my future of becoming a Human Resource Manager, I am currently double majoring in Communication and Psychology as a basis for understanding the underlying meaning of what inspires people. To further my passion in human resources, I began volunteering at the Student Recruitment and Retention Center, which strives to recruit and retain students of colors into higher education. Each week, I find tutors from each department and activities for students to connect to make them feel part of a group. The best way I have found to retain students is to make them feel involved in a group activity, then they will know they have a duty and find an interest in staying in school and doing well. In the end, everyone is close and they are satisfied as their job as a student. I have also chosen an internship with the Graduate Academic Achievement Advocacy Program because I believe I would benefit from it most and drop-out rates are high. Together, my team administers surveys to find student’s needs and quickly develop strategies to that offer support concerning the application process of Graduate School. Many undergraduates, including myself sought a mentor for assistance for the process of applying to graduate school. This project was successful because our essential motive was to build a community of similar interest and network graduate students and undergrads because eventually, students in the same field will become colleagues. Also, another request was to have research classes, where students were to be able to conduct their own research. At U.C. Davis, I have worked with Professor Grimm as his research assistant and am familiar with using SAS and R. I am contributing my ideas of what I have learned in my empirical research class and my assistance with Professor Grimm to the research class. Ideas start at a micro-level, and turn into mini projects in a community that eventually aim to reach the holistic goal of improving education. I am already undertaking what I want to be on a micro-level in my community. My enthusiasm for helping others overcome barriers is what defines my personality and work ethics. When it comes to employment, I will find adequate people for a job and finding the right person and finding ways to retaining them to build them into more strong individuals. I hope to learn every feature of Industrial Organization to fulfill the organizational goals within a company.

My last paragraph talks about how if this motivation is universal? because I am interested in cross cultural studies. if it is universal.. lets test it and appy what we learn in workplace to improve it.. etc

Could this WORK? A fair and free America…?

Note: This was posted earlier in the wrong category. My apologies to those few who were still good enough to respond.

Can you visualize a United States that functioned like this? If not, why not?

– Universal flat sales tax of 10% on all retail and wholesale transactions. No income tax (unconstitutional) and no IRS. No corrupt tax bureaucracy regulating our businesses. The government isn’t supposed to run the economy, and corporations sure as hell aren’t supposed to run the government.

– Term limits on every federal legislative office. No more old boys living like princes for 40 years at their constituents’ expense and making every decision based on winning reelection instead of serving the public interest.

– A strong military that defends the United States and its borders from bases on US soil. No more overseas expeditions for nation-building, peace-keeping, and resource-grabbing at the expense of our best citizens’ lives. If there is a real coalition of nations building for a just cause and a specific end (see World War II), we may participate. No more quagmires.

– A simple and coherent trade policy of tit-for-tat. You don’t tariff our imports, we don’t tariff yours. You buy our goods, we’ll buy yours. No multi-billion dollar trade imbalances with anyone allowed. We don’t need to buy your junk; we invented the machines that manufacture it and if you don’t want to sell it to us in under a fair policy we can make it here.

– Yes, universal health care for every US citizen. It would make our country stronger by putting an end to the impoverishment and bankruptcy of millions who become sick, as well as returning good people who can’t contribute because they don’t have access to health care back into our workforce. It could be paid for easily under the tax policy above and the money saved by dismantling the huge IRS bureaucracy and bringing our military home, with a surplus to boot. Stop buying into the insurance lobbyists’ BS and think about what would be best for the country. This would eliminate extraordinary loss and expense to our society.

– No more government subsidies on commodities of any kind. None. If people aren’t buying it, they don’t need it, and the government has no business using taxes to pay for it anyway. Grow something else.

– Absolutely no laws will be passed that are not 100% in keeping with the letter of the Constitution. This is not a document subject to “interpretation” at the whim of those in power. Elected officials who introduce unconstitutional legislation and pursue it after it is brought to their attention are guilty of treason, and if they don’t drop it must be held duly accountable.

So why couldn’t this America work? Just thought I’d ask.
I appreciate all the answers. I do wish responders would consider how much revenue such a tax would generate, and how cutting the cost in bureaucracy and overseas military deployments would change the budget, before declaring the plan wouldn’t work.

To those of you who wanted to know, the policies expressed here (except for universal health care) closely mirror those of Rep. Representative and former presidential candidate Ron Paul (TX).
